   An old friend, and fellow rabid Kate Fan, the SF writer Mike
Weaver (Mercedes Nights, My Father Immortal) is a friend of Charles
DeLint. He has mentioned that Charles is a *big* Kate Fan. Mike went
to the Canadian BushCon in 1984 and went with us to New York to meet
Kate in 1985. Some here may remember his contributions to
_Breakthrough_.

   A couple of interesting points; Mike wrote to Peter Reich (_A Book
Of Dreams_, the inspiration for _Cloudbusting_) asking for an interview.
He didn't get the interview, but he did talk to Peter's agent. She asked
Mike to send her some of his work, and she became Mike's agent. The
other funny thing - Mike's wife is named Angel, and she *always* dresses
in black.

   I've never seen a tour T-shirt. Peter DF-M?
